Something about this sign just struck me as funny… So how big would this can have to be? Are they advertising that they provide containers for dieties?

Nope, I’m not a multi-millionaire. My mother’s magic didn’t work. I think next time I’m going to send her into Little Cricket by herself to by the lottery ticket, and she has to pick the numbers herself. Yeah, that’s what I gotta do.

Tomorrow is the autumnal equinox. To celebrate the first day of fall, I joined Glynda, Mom, and Dad in a trip to the Caro-Mi restaurant near Tryon, NC. It was a beautiful evening, so we were up for a drive to the Pacolet River Valley. Having never been before, I figured it warranted a review. … Read More “Caro-Mi” »

A bit o’ history. My mother is extremely lucky. During her lifetime she has won many prizes in various drawings, including one large doll, not one, but two 21-inch televisions (in separate drawings), and a 1931 Ford A-Model – an honest-to-goodness antique car that probably financed a good bit of my college education when it … Read More “First Powerball” »

I’m always hesitant to review a restaurant with which I’ve had such a long, long history. I tend to focus on those places that are new (or at least new to me.) However, I had opportunity to eat at Frodo’s Pizza twice this week, so I decided it was high time to give them the … Read More “Frodo’s Pizza” »

Saturday Laura and I headed downtown for the 15th Annual Art in the Park. The festival originally started at as a display by a few local artists in Cleveland Park. It has since migrated to the Falls Park area, with most of the artists booths actually on South Main Street rather than in the park … Read More “Art in the Park” »

Back when I got my first digital camera, my thoughts were that it would only really be used for web images. If I wanted something of higher quality, I would use my 35mm SLR. After all, I could always scan the photos and get really high quality digital images. This last little project with … Read More “Paradigm Shift” »

Despite its flaws, I’ve had a blast with the new Flickr Maps over the past several days. Seeing my travels laid out so neatly has prompted me to go back into my older photo archives and upload some of those images. There were quite a few digital images, but most were taken with a … Read More “Time Passages” »
